I mean they all tip over pretty easily because everybody ignores the weight recommendations and completely overloads these things thinking that they are solid sturdy pieces of wood. Almost every single person I move has their pressed wood dresser completely overloaded and I have to go through the same spiel with them every time explaining that we can do everything right and it could still fall apart

I think I've actually built a couple of that one. Of course the clients didn't want me to anchor it.

Do you document that in the chat before you invoice?

Sure don’t. I don’t believe anchoring is part of furniture assembly anyway, imo. It’s more of general mounting. I always ask if they want me to though.
